Chapter 697 Framed ([-])

huh~~
coming!finally come!
There was something hidden in his heart before, and he didn't know when it would come, so Xiao Nan's heart could not be at peace.

Now that things had blown up, it was as if the second boot upstairs had finally been thrown off, and she felt a sense of peace in her body and mind, exhausted.

Heaving a long breath, Xiao Nan tried his best to use a calm tone and said: "Oh? There is such a thing? Maybe Jingzhao Mansion has some important arrangements."

After a pause, Xiao Nan didn't care whether this statement would convince the audience, and softly ordered: "Since you can't leave the city today, then simply stay in the mansion for one night, and it won't be too late to leave the city tomorrow."

The person who sent the letter was also a domestic slave of the Cui family. Most of his family members lived in Rongkang Hall. He followed Cui Lingwen in Lishan before, so he couldn't see his family members often. Hearing Xiao Nan's words now, he quickly nodded and said: " Thank you madam, thank you madam!"

As for whether the master's words are worthy of scrutiny, it is not something that a little servant like him can pay attention to.

He bowed towards Xiao Nan gratefully, and immediately retreated respectfully.

As soon as the servant was dismissed, Yuzan rushed in, walked quickly to the front, and said in a low voice: "Ma'am, something is wrong, the servant girl sent someone to look outside, and found that there were only Jingzhao Mansion and Jinwuwei on the street. There are also some unfamiliar guards. Looking at their armor and sabers, they seem to be Qianniuwei."

Xiao Nan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Qianniuwei? Did the people below see it right?"

Qianniuwei is the emperor's personal guard, and no one can mobilize them except the emperor.

But in Xiao Nan's known plan, it seems that the Qianniuwei section was not used.

Could it be... Xiao Nan's heartbeat accelerated inexplicably, and an ominous premonition hit his heart.

Yuzan nodded vigorously, "The servant girl was also a little puzzled, so I asked several times, and the people who went out came back and said with certainty that they were absolutely right."

It is basic common sense for a servant of a wealthy family like the Cui family to clearly distinguish the rank of officials and the armor configuration of the twelve guards.After all, there are many dignitaries in Beijing, if one is careless and offends someone who shouldn't be offended, not only will he be punished, but he will also cause trouble for his master.

A qualified servant would never make such a mistake.

Not to mention that all the "professional talents" sent by Yuzan have undergone special training, and they will not be mistaken in this regard.

Xiao Nan also knew in her heart that she ordered someone to specially select and train those people. Although she hadn't personally seen them, their abilities had been verified in practice.

When she asked that just now, it was just a sign of uneasiness.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Nan said: "Based on this, the situation is indeed not right. In this way, you first withdraw most of the people, leaving only a few smart ones, and keep an eye on the movements outside—"

Xiao Nan's voice paused, then suddenly lowered his voice: "Especially the movement of the imperial city."

Yuzan's heart trembled, she peeked at Xiao Nan's expression, then immediately lowered her head, and replied respectfully: "Yes!"

The two masters and servants were talking in a low voice, suddenly, there was a familiar drumbeat not far away.

The two immediately stopped talking, and subconsciously raised their heads to follow the prestige, counting silently in their hearts.

The drum sounded for a whole stick of incense, Yuzan turned her head, just in time to meet Xiao Nan's serious eyes, the master and servant looked at each other for a moment, and then quickly turned away.

"It's not even the hour yet, and Mu Gu is ahead of schedule, could it be—"

Xiao Nan seemed to be muttering to himself, but also seemed to be asking deliberately.

Yuzan frowned, and said in a very low voice: "Madam, I think your guess is right, something must have happened in the palace. Just in case, should we make preparations early?"

At any rate, he was also a person who experienced a turmoil in the capital, so Yuhan still had a little bit of vigilance.

Xiao Nan also guessed, but his heart became more and more uneasy, this, this is not the same as the plan at all.What happened in the palace? Not only did the city gates and square gates be closed ahead of time, but a large number of Qianniuwei were dispatched to take charge of the security of the main streets in central Beijing.

Many phenomena point to one conclusion, that is, something happened in the palace, and it is very likely that the saint has encountered some problems.

But what is the problem?

The person who poisoned him started to do it again?

Impossible, the emperor still holds the jade pendant in his hand, let alone feeding him poison, even if there is poison around him, he can still detect it.It shouldn't be easy to be recruited.

But if something happened to someone else, there wouldn't be such a big battle at all.

However, Yuhan is right in saying that no matter what happens in the palace, she must make early preparations.

As far as the current situation is concerned, some things have exceeded her and the eldest princess' expectations. The other party really has a trump card in his hand, and he has already made a move.

If she still acts according to the old plan, she is very likely to fall into a passive and even dangerous situation.

Thinking of this, Xiao Nan hurriedly whispered to Yuzan's ear, and ordered a few words in a very low voice.

At the beginning, Yuhan nodded solemnly, expressing that she would definitely act according to her master's orders.

But as she listened, her face became a little pale, and finally she looked at Xiao Nan with eyes full of panic, silently asking something.

Xiao Nan's eyes were full of words, but he looked back at Yuzan fixedly, and said word by word: "I only trust you, so I leave this matter to you!"

Yuzan clenched her back molars tightly, her eyes filled with tears, and she replied sonorously: "Princess, don't worry, this servant will handle this matter properly."

In a moment of excitement, Yuhan even called Xiao Nan's old title again.

Xiao Nan heard the determination in her words, suddenly twitched the corners of his mouth, and forced a smile: "With you here, of course I can rest assured." Moreover, she would not let bandits harm her family and loyal servants.

At the same time, Wu Wuniang from the west cross courtyard of Yaoguang Academy was also talking with her "loyal servant".

"Did you hear me right? Something happened over there?"

Wu Wuniang leaned on the low couch under the south window, holding a round fan painted with gold and peonies in her hand, half-closed her eyes, and asked in a low voice.

"I want my aunt to know that the servant girl heard clearly. Yuzan is summoning the guards at home, saying that the Weirui courtyard has lost something important, and the courtyard is full of thieves."

Ah Qin knelt and sat on the straight gate in front of the couch, and lightly beat Wu Wuniang's legs with her hands into fists, whispering back in her mouth.

"Creating thieves? Hmph, Mrs. Xiao is only capable like this, yet he came up with such an excuse."

Wu Wuniang pouted, her face full of disdain.The city gates are closed outside, and there is an early curfew. Normal people will close their doors and surround them with guards to ensure the safety of their families.

But Xiao Nan, in the name of catching thieves, summoned all the Cui family's guards to the Weirui Courtyard, even ignoring the gate of Rongshou Hall.

It's not that she looks down on Mrs. Xiao, this woman is really petty in her behavior.

Aqin lowered her head, a trace of uneasiness flashed across her face. To be honest, Aunt Wu was generous before and she was willing to entrust her with important tasks, so Aqin was willing to help Aunt Wu.

But recently, the errands entrusted to her by Aunt Wu have become more and more dangerous. It is also compared to ordinary maids.

Her little knowledge can be compared with the master's, even the third-class maids in the main courtyard, she can't compare with it.

But now, she wants to plot against Mrs. Wu with Aunt Wu, she, she really has no idea.

This kind of thing has become a rich and prosperous family.

But what if you lose?

Their family has been the private slaves of the Cui family since their great-grandfather, and all the deeds are held in the hands of the wife. If something really happened, the whole family will not end well.

Biting her lip, Aqin confirmed to Aunt Wu again: "Auntie, husband and wife really did that?" It is said that it will affect the whole family. Once this matter breaks out, not only the master of the Cui family will be severely punished, but These slaves will also be implicated.

This is also the reason that really prompted Ah Qin to completely invest in Aunt Wu. She didn't want her whole family to become official slaves and be unable to turn over for several lifetimes.

"Why, can I still lie to you as a little maid?"

Wu Wuniang opened her eyes, and cast her a blank stare angrily.

"Don't dare, the servant girl is just, just—" I'm afraid, it's the first time she has done such a thing to frame someone at such a big age.

What a worthless thing, Wu Wuniang couldn't see A Qin's appearance like this, she snorted coldly in her heart, if it wasn't for the fact that there was no one available, if it wasn't for the fact that A Qin's family had a solid foundation in Rongshou Hall Look, she won't use this cowardly idiot.

However, now she has to rely on their family to work for her and win her over. Wu Wuniang could only suppress the disgust in her heart, softened her tone, and said: "Don't worry, I only have one life. Grasp it, how can I make a move easily?"

There was still some uneasiness in Aqin's eyes.

Wu Wuniang had no choice but to continue to appease: "Just wait, there will be movement outside in a short time."

Just as he was talking, Ah Qi hurried in and said anxiously: "Auntie, the angel is here, and it is said that Mrs. Xuan, a noble lady from the palace, has entered the palace."

When Wu Wuniang heard this, her eyes lit up instantly—it's finally here!
On the other side, Xiao Nan listened to the sage's oral oracle read by the angel, and his heart skipped a beat. This was also inconsistent with the original plan, and indeed something happened in the palace.

She winked at Yuhan.

Yuhan understood, and quietly stuffed Angel with a bulging purse, not wanting Angel to accept the purse, but refused to reveal any news.

Xiao Nan had no choice but to follow the angel out of the courtyard. Before leaving, she gave Yuhan another look.

Yuhan nodded vigorously, expressing that she would definitely do that well.

Xiao Nan got into the carriage nervously.

The carriage quickly left Chongrenfang and drove into Zhuque Street. Xiao Nan quietly raised the curtains of the car and looked outside the car. Sure enough, the bustling market had become deserted now, and there were solemn guards with knives standing on both sides of the avenue.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Xiao Nan felt that the whole capital was shrouded in a strange atmosphere.

Two quarters of an hour later, the carriage arrived at the imperial city, Xiao Nan got off the carriage, changed to Jianyu to Miyagi, entered the Taiji Palace, and came to the Liangyi Hall where the sage lives daily.

After being passed on by the servant, Xiao Nan walked slowly into the main hall. As soon as she stepped into the main hall, she noticed something was wrong—the saint was not there, and the eldest princess was not there either!

"Bold Mr. Xiao, you are guilty!"

Xiao Nan was looking around stealthily, but there was a soft voice from the main seat...
